problems with slide out motor

Slide will stop several times when bringing it in. Battery is fully charged, seals lubed, and slide is in alignment. Motor clicks and slide moves a short amount of travel and stops. Then motor clicks and slide comes in. Anyone deal with this problem. 2015 high Country 305RL

In the battery, hydraulic compartment there was s a circuit breaker on the rear wall. It is probably 50amps. Replace it t with 80amp or add another 50 parallel .

Is there a hydraulic compartment on this rig? I thought this was an all electric rig, leveling and slides.

Like Larry stated above change out the breaker. This is a common problem.

If this is a cable slide the gear box is going bad. Thats what mine did before it sheared enough teeth of that it would not work anymore.

It's cable slide. Which slide? If it's the gear cogs broke off you need a new gear box. If that isn't the problem put some dry lube on the bottom of the slideout. Candle wax will work.

The slide is the big slide out. I have changed the 2 breakers in the battery compartment and made no difference. Have not lubed the bottom seal. Will try that. There are no teeth broken in the gearbox. If this doesn't work I will replace gearbox and motor. Found one on Ebay

You can be sure that the auto reset breaker that feeds the slide motor is properly working by shorting its two terminals together and have someone operate the big slideout. Not sure which one feeds it...short both out and have slide operated. Still same, look at motor connects to make sure the power feeds look good. I would always suspect power going away for brief time first with these symptoms. Don't fall into trap of believing a new part will eliminate that part as the issue. Some rvs do not operate the same as others, even if same model and year. John

I didn't mean the seal. Lube the bottom of the slide. That would make it slide easy.

Has your problem been corrected? We've been dealing with this since we purchased it last March. They've replaced the motor with a High-torque motor...twice. Now say definitely should not have a high-torque motor, put in the smaller motor and add rollers. Two different repair facilities have disagreed with Keystone's recommended repair.
